  • HEAR THIS: Macka Diamond “Deh Suh Nice”

    Macka Gets Slacka On Her X-Rated Counteraction To Potential Kidd

    Macka “Money O” Diamond is usually all about her paper. But right now she’s got something else on her mind—and it seems to have something to do with a “Cocky so big me haffi cut and paste it.” Where Potential Kidd’s “Yah Suh Nice” was more on the humorous/suggestive tip, Macka D’s counteraction from Golden Rock Productions is straight-up slack. Not that we’re mad—at all.

    Ladies—Bruck Out Now, Get Mad Now

    The second gift to everybody suffering from Werlboss withdrawal comes courtesy of T.J. Productions. T.J.’s given us some wicked Kartel tunes over the years. (Remember that one on the “Gaza World” riddim? Oh gosh!) But this one feels like it’s gonna bust even bigger and broader. Ladies love them some Kartel yunno.

  • HEAR THIS: Vybz Kartel “Ghetto Life”

    Before He Had To Go Away, Kartel Had These Few Things To Say—Listen Keenly

    New music from Vybz Kartel is always a big deal, but even more so these days. The Werlboss has been behind bars for half a year now, awaiting trial on two murder cases that just keep dragging on, but he was so prolific that a few lucky producers are still sitting on a few gems that they bless us with now and then. Today’s a good day for Kartel fans as two very different songs recently hit the web. We’ll start with this UIM / Adidjaheim Production, which opens with a prayer and only gets realer from there.

  • HEAR THIS: Popcaan “Fry Yiy”

    The Whole Place Ah Say “Fry Yiy”

    Yeah the party shot like an M16, but don’t get it twisted. What part of “Hot Skull a Hot Skull” did y’all fail to overstand? Well Popcaan jumped Anu Blaxx’s new “Fry Yiy” riddim just to drive his point home: “Can’t see me pon the road and gimme no speech. Gangster City bad man never grow inna creech. Bust them head pon the pulpit when pastor ah preach. If you diss me ah evil contract you ah breach.” Are we clear now?

  • Rusko Asks “Are You A Dubstep Skanker?”

    Download The Latest Track From Mad Decent’s Dubstep Dada & Maybe Land A Spot In His Video

    Rusko’s new album Songs is mashing up the dubstep world, and now he’s giving fans a chance to embarrass themselves land a spot in his video. Here’s the 411:

    “We’ve all seen that “move” before, but what exactly is it? You’re at a dubstep show and take a look around to see one guy flailing his arms recklessly through the air, another person headbanging so hard they could break a 2×4, and then of course…the open armed wing flap. RUSKO is giving everyone the chance to embrace their inner Skanker and let their own interpretation of that feeling when you hear dubstep be shown to the world.”

    Check out a helpful video demonstration featuring A-trak and Diplo after the jump.

    Time For a Certified Boomshot Throwback… Yuh Think We Easy?

    The baddest dancehall duo since Michigan & Smiley is also one of the most slept on acts in reggae history.

  • HEAR THIS: Nicki Minaj f/ Beenie Man “Gunshot”

    Barbz Sends For The Girls Dem Sugar To Nice Up Roman Reloaded

    As a Trini gal growing up in Queens, Nicki Minaj always had nuff respect for dancehall giants like Beenie, Bounty, and Lady Saw. She even reps Gully and Gaza just like her Young Money bredren. But action speaks louder than words, so we gotta give Nicki props for reaching out to the Doctor as she was putting together her highly anticipated sophomore album, Roman Reloaded. Okay she’s reloaded, but is “Gunshot” a certified Boomshot?

  • Snoop Dogg’s Top 5 Reggae Jams

    Why Are People So Shocked That Snoop Would Dabble In Reggae? Doggy Dogg’s Been At It For Years

    Yesterday Diplo had the blogs burning up with news that he’s working on a reggae album with Snoop Dogg. “Snoop Dogg is an icon, man,” the Major Lazer producer told MTV.  “He’s bigger than the music. What we’re doing is a reggae record. It’s like Snoop Dogg and Major Lazer together. It’s all reggae and he’s singing and he’s doing a fucking awesome job and I never knew it, but he had his heart in every song… We’re going to get back into the production of it next month, and I’m really proud of that record. It’s the first record I’ve ever executive-produced and his crew is amazing.” This may explain why we recently heard that Popcaan and Snoop made a song together. We can’t wait to hear what Snoop and Diplo come up with. But we’re a little confused that people seem surprised that Snoop would do a reggae song. Sure he’s better known for his pimpadelic G-funk rap hits, but the Doggamuffin has been dabbling in reggae for years. Let’s rewind back from the top…
